lol, U give Win 10 too little credit. My Dell Dimension 3100 has been able to run 3 OS from Microsoft halfway smoothly. XP,7, and 10. The others(Vista & 8/8.1) were so much worse I had to use Linux mint. Mint IS better than 10 on many systems, especially my optiplex 160 with the atom CPU and sys graphics.

 

Personally, I don't like Windows anymore. I only use it because I play and edit as many games as I do, so I need it. My Laptop has Ubuntu installed on it, and i have to say I like that OS a lot better. It looks nice run smooth, and it's just a lot more secure.

 

 

There was a lot of customization you could do with XP manually or view utilities such as TweakUI and others. Windows 10 does not have as much customization but still has a fair bit. That being said, most of the modifications I make are for performance/usability reasons. I tend not to play with the GUI side of it, as I am fairly happy with it.

Windows 10 is somewhat forgiving hardware requirements wise, I have been relatively impressed thus fair when running it on less than stellar systems, still does a pretty good job.

 

"There was a lot of customization you could do with XP" is an understatement since there was noting on, XP you couldn't customize from what i remember. But anyway, I'm not really a fan of windows anymore i only use it for the same reasons i use YouTube. There is nothing better.

I have gone the Linux route on a few occasions but ultimately from a device and software support point of view, Windows is king and for efficiency and steady work flow (for me) Windows cannot be beat. If Linux was a true competitor then perhaps, but Linux is fragmented so far as to say there is no one true Linux distro which I think is part of the issue when it comes down to unified hardware and software support from Vendors.

 

Ultimately though, its all money. Linux is not driven by corporate interests and while that can be a good thing, it also means there is no uniform driving force behind it, no money to throw around in the interest of collaboration with vendors/partners etc.

 

In any case, depending on use scenerio Linux can be great, no doubt about it.

As long you use NVIDIA and Intel, then Ubuntu is good i have not had a Driver problem so far for standard drivers. My problem is gaming support for Linux. Steam has a built-in program that Emulates all games on Linux, but it doesn't work with all games, but most. I have played some games on Linux, but when it comes to gaming, i would rather use Windows.

lol, I know,they had a bunch of free to play games in the list also, but Epic's also getting THEIR holiday party started with mystery games being given away also.

It's not free, but has to do with a game franchise and the loss of a record holding coach....

The Callisto Protocol is 1 of the free games on Epic this week. The early Fallouts are coming up on the 29th of this month. P.S. if U want the DLC for Callisto, it's cheaper to get the Season Pass than to buy it seperate.(save $10 at cost price)
